Modifying rims is illegal as it alters the registered characteristics of the vehicle, and thus will incur penalty points. Below is relevant information about vehicle modifications: 1. Required materials for the procedure: The materials needed for color change procedures are minimal, including the vehicle's license, the owner's ID card, and the vehicle registration certificate (green book). If a friend handles the procedure on your behalf, their ID card must also be presented. 2. Permissible modifications by the DMV: Body color changes are allowed but must be reported within ten days; wheel rims and brake calipers must maintain the same dimensions as the original vehicle; front and rear bumpers can be modified but require reporting to the authorities.

Can I use a temporary ID if I lost my ID card for Subject 4?

You can use a temporary ID for Subject 4, as it holds the same validity as a regular ID card. Simply visit any police station, present your household registration booklet and a recent one-inch black-and-white photo without a hat, and pay the document fee. Students can obtain the temporary ID on the same day of application. Subject 4: Subject 4 is a theoretical exam. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the exam. Exam Conditions: Subject 4 can only be taken after passing the Subject 3 road driving skills test. If you fail, you can directly apply for a retake, and the previously passed road driving skills test score remains valid.

What does unstable car idle speed mean?

Unstable car idle speed refers to the fluctuation of the tachometer when the engine is idling, accompanied by engine shaking. The reasons for unstable car idle speed are: 1. Air, gasoline vapor, or exhaust gas entering the intake manifold, causing the mixture to be too rich or too lean; 2. Ignition module failure, incorrect spark plug gap, spark plug electrode erosion or damage, excessive resistance in high-voltage wires; 3. Injector clogging, fuel filter clogging, fuel pump screen clogging, fuel pressure regulator failure, return pipe clogging, etc., leading to the mixture being too rich or too lean; 4. Failure or damage of the engine intake system's actuators; 5. Excessive carbon deposits on the throttle and surrounding intake passages, changing the cross-sectional area of the air passage, making it impossible for the control unit to precisely control the idle air intake.

How to Operate the Alternation Between High Beam and Low Beam?

The operation method for alternating between high beam and low beam is: 1. Use your thumb and index finger to grasp the lever located at the lower left side of the steering wheel; 2. Pull it backward once; 3. Pull it in the opposite direction once to complete the alternation between high and low beams. Precautions for using car lights include: 1. Turn on the low beam when driving at night; 2. Do not use the high beam when a following vehicle is driving closely behind a leading vehicle in the same direction; 3. When passing through sharp curves, slopes, arch bridges, crosswalks, or intersections without traffic signal control at night, you should alternate between high and low beams to signal. The function of the high beam is to check the road conditions in the distance, while the function of the low beam is to clearly see the road conditions in front of the vehicle.
